Which 7970

[Phage]

Given that DICE appear to have finally patched BF3.

What is the best 7970 to get ? I'm after massive power with as little noise as possible - so quite straightforward.

There doesn't seem to be a huge difference on price. Who has the best warranty ?

What about MSI ? I hear good things.
Are there none with an aftermarket cooler ? Like the PCS+ or XFX ?

MSI and Gigabyte have better warranties AFAIK,and should not cost any more than £435 to £450.

I would still wait for Kepler to be released,if only to reduce the price somewhat.

Fancy seeing you here !
Looks like the best option still. I'm just not sure how long that may be...

The BF3 patch sounds interesting. I will have to load that up tonight and run it through my Eyefinity benchmark before switching back to PLP for a bit (suffering from motion sickness at the moment when playing Eyefnity which is damn annoying).

I'd be very interested to see your results to see what the difference is before and after.

Thanks - much appreciated.

What about the Asus Direct Cu II ? OCUK don't seem to stock it however.
